Prince Rong?
Ji Wanxin's heart skipped a beat when she heard those two words. She listened even more attentively. The plump embroiderer said, "I heard that the Emperor dismissed Lord Lu and Lord Zhou to suppress Prince Rong. That's why Prince Rong immediately returned to the capital. During this period of time, the Emperor and Prince Rong have been fighting fiercely. Just a few days ago, the Emperor issued an edict to lock Prince Rong up. The crime is that Prince Rong offended his superiors and angered the Emperor! But who is Prince Rong? How could he offend his superiors? Just yesterday, someone personally saw Prince Rong being escorted into Fuyang Hall. Sounds of fighting could be heard from inside. Not long after, Prince Rong unexpectedly walked out with injuries.
No one dared to stop him. Early this morning, the Emperor issued three imperial edicts. Tell me, isn't it strange? Isn't it strange? "
Ji Wanxin asked twice.
Strange!
Everyone looked at each other in dismay and began to guess.
"Did Prince Rong say something? Is that why the Emperor let him go? "
"I think Prince Rong threatened the Emperor."
"You're all wrong. That's the Emperor we're talking about. If Prince Rong doesn't dare to offend his superiors, why would he threaten the Emperor? I don't think we can guess what's going on. "
"…"
There were all kinds of theories!
It was a complete mess.
The more Ji Wanxin listened, the more distracted she became. She was also guessing the possibilities. Although she had been in Jinjiang for a long time, she had heard a lot about the happenings in the capital. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wei Yi's actions these past few months were to suppress Jing Rong's influence and expand his' army '. Since the battle was so fierce, why did he suddenly change his mind? Lord?
Why did he 'strangle' the 'army' he had painstakingly built up?
This was indeed strange.
Could it be that Wei Yi suddenly came to his senses?
Or … was he really threatened by Jing Rong?
As she thought about it, the embroidery needle in her hand accidentally pricked her finger.
"Ugh!"
The pain made her beautiful eyebrows furrow, and she quickly sucked on her bleeding finger.
"What are you all doing? Aren't you going to work? "A voice came from the door.
Everyone's nerves tensed up.
They saw Granny Jiang walk in with a dark expression.
She stared sternly at the group of embroidered women who were huddled together.
The embroidery maids who had been discussing animatedly saw Nanny Jiang come in and immediately bounced away. They returned to their workstations and immersed themselves in their work.
Focus on your own work!
Nanny Jiang scolded and scolded, "Listen up, you are not the storytellers in the teahouse. Don't talk nonsense with your mouths open. Be careful of being heard by someone with ulterior motives. If you get into trouble, you will be beheaded! Even ten lives wouldn't be enough to compensate you. "
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.
He didn't dare to speak anymore.
Granny Jiang's anger gradually subsided. She walked to Ji Wanxin's side and saw that her hand was injured. She hurriedly asked with concern, "Why were you so careless? Does it hurt? If it hurts, go and rest first. "
She knew very well that she could not have special treatment in the palace. Otherwise, those who originally wanted to curry favor with her would become jealous of her, and the final result would be a spear pointed at her.
How could that be?
"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine."
"It's good that you're fine. If you're tired, take a break."
"Yes."
When the xiu niangs heard this, they all had jealous and disgusted expressions. Their eyes were like knives cutting Ji Wanxin's body.
Just as Ji Wanxin thought, if Nanny Jiang continued to be so good to her, everyone's previous flattery might turn into jealousy and finally kill her!
Nanny Jiang gently patted her slender shoulder, then turned around and left.
But in the next moment, Ji Wanxin seemed to think of something and immediately got up to chase after her.
"Granny." She stopped her.
Granny Jiang stopped. "What's wrong?"
"I have a favor to ask of you."
Huh?
Granny Jiang couldn't ask for more. "Tell me. If I can help you, I will definitely help you."
"Actually, it's just a small matter. I have a cloak that is stained with ink. It was stained before I entered the palace. No matter how I wash it, it can't be washed off. I heard that the palace's laundry yard has a special tool to wash ink. I wonder if it's possible to send my cloak to be washed?"
"This …"
She was a little embarrassed.
After all, the laundry yard only washed palace people's clothes, not personal clothes.
Ji Wanxin had a bitter expression on her face. "That cloak was a gift from my grandmother. I couldn't bear to throw it away. Now that she's dead, I only have that thing with me as a memento. Please help me, Nanny."
Pleading!
"This …"
"Can't I?"
Granny Jiang thought for a moment and quickly said, "That's not it. Just bring the cloak."
She agreed!
Ji Wanxin brought the cloak for her, and Granny Jiang personally went to wash it.
The cloak was washed that day. It was sent by someone from the laundry yard, and the person who delivered the cloak was none other than Sang Lan.
The maidservant of Concubine Xiao!
Ji Wanxin pulled her into the room and closed the door. She said to her seriously, "You finally came."
Sang Lan put down the cloak in her hands. "You deliberately wanted me to see you? That's why I sent the cloak you wore that night to the laundry yard to wash. "
"That's right."
"Why do you want to see me?"
"I want you to do me a favor."
Sang Lan was puzzled. "Me? What can I do to help you? Moreover … why should I help you? "
Ji Wanxin's face was gloomy. She slowly approached her and said, "Because we're in the same boat."
Ah!
… …
That night, Wei Yi sat in Fuyang Hall. He had been sitting there ever since the three imperial edicts were passed down.
He didn't eat or drink!
At this time …
A palace servant delivered ginseng soup prepared by the Imperial Kitchen.
"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten anything for the whole day. You should eat something first."
He sat there with his head propped up. He closed his eyes and didn't move an inch.
The palace servant could only put the ginseng soup to one side and silently left.
After an unknown period of time …
Wei Yi propped up his head and sighed deeply.
His eyes were lifeless and he looked haggard.
He didn't have any energy left in him.
The three imperial edicts were like three knives that ruthlessly stabbed into his body.
It was like he was admitting his mistakes. Slap, slap, slap!
Sigh …
His gaze wandered around the hall and finally fell on the bowl of ginseng soup in his hand. To be more precise, it was on something that was under the bowl.
It was a note!
Hmm?
Curious, he took out the slip of paper.
He opened it to take a look!
There were only four words written on it.
Both civil and military!
He clenched his fists and his eyes widened.
He knew who wrote it.
He also knew the meaning of the four words.
After a while, he crumpled the note into a ball in his hand.
